Ubuntu 14.04 : Add 1280 x 1024 screen resolution

Spent around 2 hours to set new resolution for Ubuntu 14.04 and when come to know the right way it took only 5 minutes. So, writing this post so that it can save someone else's time.

Following are the steps to add 1280 x 1024 screen resolution in Ubuntu 14.04

1) Create /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with following content:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "Monitor0"
    Modeline "1280x1024_60.00"  109.00  1280 1368 1496 1712  1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Card0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    SubSection "Display"
        Modes       "1280x1024_60.00"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Card0"
    Driver        "intel"
EndSection 

2) Restart Ubuntu

That's it.


Notes :

a) To get Modeline use following command:

cvt <h-resolution> <v-resolution>

e.g $ cvt 1280 1024

it will return : Modeline "1280x1024_60.00"  109.00  1280 1368 1496 1712  1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync

b) To get Device Driver use following command :

lshw -class display | grep "driver"

For intel graphic chip driver is intel only.

Odoo/OpenERP: one2one relational field example

one2one relational field is deprecated in OpenERP version>5 but you can achieve the same using many2one relational field.

How to draw Dynamic Line or Timeseries Chart in Java using jfreechart library?

Today we are going to write a code to draw a dynamic timeseries-cum-line chart in java.   The only difference between simple and dynamic chart is that a dynamic event is used to create a new series and update the graph. In out example we are using timer which automatically calls a funtion after every 1/4 th second and graph is updated with random data. Let's try with the code : Note : I had tried my best to provide complete documentation along with code. If at any time anyone have any doubt or question please post in comments section. DynamicLineAndTimeSeriesChart.java import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import javax.swing.Timer; import javax.swing.JPanel; import org.jfree.chart.ChartFactory; import org.jfree.chart.ChartPanel; import org.jfree.chart.JFreeChart; import org.jfree.chart.axis.ValueAxis; import org.jfree.chart.plot.XYPlot; import

pyodbc.OperationalError: ('08001', '[08001] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]

Recently, I faced this error in our Docker-Container environment. All the necessary packages were already installed but still, I was facing this clueless error. I search a bit and after an hour and so I found the exact reason and solution for this error. To know more about this error in detail. Please follow this Github thread. https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/issues/610 https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/issues/610#issuecomment-587523802 Solution: It's because the   server's certificate has too weak a key. In case you are using Linux env directly/not the Docker one.  Just edited /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf and change these 2 lines. MinProtocol = TLSv1.0 CipherString = DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1 In case you are also using a container, please add these three lines to your Docker file. RUN chmod +rwx /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf RUN sed -i ' s/TLSv1.2/TLSv1/g ' /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf RUN sed -i ' s/SECLEVEL=2/SECLEVEL=1/g ' /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf Thanks!! Enjoy Programming! Refer
